Hybridism in Art.
Hybridism in art refers to the blending or fusion of different artistic styles, media, cultural influences, or conceptual approaches into a single work. It challenges traditional boundaries and categories, creating new, often unexpected forms of expression.
Artistic Style
Hybridism often means mixing styles or movements — for example, combining elements of realism and abstraction, or merging digital art with traditional painting.
Medium and Technology
In contemporary art, hybridism frequently involves crossing media boundaries — using painting, sculpture, video, performance, and digital technology in one piece.
A Hybrid Artwork Process.
"As a visual artist, I blend representation with abstraction to suggest narrative entrances that draw viewers into immersive sensory experiences. By utilizing cutting-edge tools, techniques, and technologies, I break from conventional limits fostering a space for boundless creativity to thrive. With a discerning eye for composition and color control, I art direct and use select generative artificial intelligent images as reference that resonate with my central concept. Using digital art tools, I often manipulate, distort and compose select elements from multiple references into original compositions. Then, I hand render the original compositions or references as is with digital art tools giving them a unique soul and suggestive feel. All of this creates hybrid works that fuse human with machine creativity."
"Simply, I really just want to present images that express hope for the future leading to joy and peace in the present."
